Student Representation in Olympia
Legislative aide needed by Tacoma branch campus

Whv doesn't UWT have a Sni- Jent Legislacive Representaave in Olvmpia CO lobby and espouse our common interest.' The Seattle campus's student government has a legislative rep in order to keep their presence and needs before the different bodies oi the legisla- (ive branch of our state. It is this important branch of govemment which appropriates the funds that created and now nourish our branch campus. We exist and grow as they are willing to fund us and we should be there standing up fbr our own interest. Now I know we are here and are getting dte ben- efia of what ha* happened before. What about the need* coming up for us later, for example, graduate programs that are somewhat af. fordable. What about the children now in secondary schools who will need to attend upper division
many people afford to send their children away to Seattle, Beliingham, or Pullman to school.' Other state universities and speaal interest groups have Legislative Reps in Olympia and thev are not espousing the need ol brancn cam. pus or twigs at distant locals to make an educabon available to the larger poraon ut the state's popu¬ lace.
One example of a loss we al¬ ready have IS the need for the funding of our second phase to accommodate our growing stu¬ dent body. This construction money was not in the Governor's budget according to The News Tribune on Tuesday, March 14, 1995. According to this article if Phase 2 is not funded during this year* *e**ion it could not be built undl at lea*t the year 2000. The need for our campus is bigger than expected and Phase 1 is behind schedule already. We need Phase 2 to be built before more ofthe babv boomer's chil-
scate of Washington lags behind in local higher education, espe¬ cially in public education. The state of California not only has large universities and commu¬ nity colleges, but local four year colleges. Washington Stateoffers education to the wealthy or conve- niendy located student. This will not serve future students or our economy in the near future. Fi¬ nancial aide is going to continue to shrink and the need for stu¬ dents to live at home will increase. Assessable higher education is going to become a bigger need in the future.
Someone must espouse the be¬ lief in branch campus's to the legislature for proper growth to occur. Perhaps the upcoming stu¬ dent government could add the position of Legislative Rep. or hire someone for the position. This could be achieved if action is taken. The action will take place when people get involved enough in the life of their community to
schools near their homes. Can dren need higher education. The make a difference.
